I went during dinner time and it was busy but not overwhelmingly packed. Very straightforward menu with spice level options. I got medium and it was truly medium (spicy enough for a real tingle but nothing crazy). Would come back! I ordered one of the meals (I think #3) and it was a good portion of food. Chicken was not dry, very juicy. Spice flavor was present but not overwhelming so I couldn't actually taste the chicken. There is a cole slaw situation on the sandwich that helps the bread from feeling dry. Fries were crink... read more

It's LITT they FINALLY brought the best chicken spot to the DMV! Guys this Drake sponsored restaurant is only in very limited locations and is still fairly new company in general. The chicken is juicy, crispy, not super greasy, and taste fresh. The spice on the chicken is super flavorful. There's various spice levels I got the Hot which is like one notch above Chick-fil-a spicy chicken in regards to heat. Flavor wise, it doesn't even compare Dave's is wayyyyy better. In regards to portion you get a ton of food for a really... read more

The food is delicious. Fries were perfectly seasoned and crispy. The medium hot sliders is tasty and flavorful. My favorite is definitely the hot slider; not overpowering and is ideal when you want an elevation of hotness and flavor. Friendly staff and clean dining area. Wow this a a must try.

Lives up to the hype! Dave's hot chicken has super friendly staff and delicious food. We came right when they opened and avoided a line. We got their slider extra hot and tenders hot. For sides we got fries and the Mac n cheese. Sides were great especially the Mac n cheese. The extra hot spice level wasn't as spicy as I anticipated, but the next level is their reaper which is the hottest level. Not sure if I have the guts to try it but I wish their extra hot was spicier. There's lots of seating available and food comes pre... read more

This place is new and has a ton of hype currently. I feel like it lives up to its hype! The sauce, portions and price are all great. The only reason that I gave Dave's a 4 instead of a 5 is because I thought the chicken was a little bit on the salty side, not enough to ruin the meal or anything. Probably just a personal palate thing for me. Tips: - I got the mild - this is perfect if you don't want the heat but like the flavor - Get some extra sauce, it is awesome - If you really want to take your slider to a new level,... read more

Sandwich was not prepared properly, fries were lukewarm, macaroni & cheese is one step up from the Kraft in a box.

Approved! Always I have had a thing for chicken sandwiches and this is my expertise. Sando: "Flavor-flavor" My medium-level sandwich had a ton of flavors with a little bit of kick that didn't upset my stomach. I'd not say the meat was juicy but it was well-seasoned. The pickles added a layer of textures: it's not sweet or sour but compliments the whole package. The potato bun made it complete! Fries: "Say yes to cheese." I read a ton of reviews before the visit and as suggested ordered cheese fries instead of regular f... read more
